A88693	Suspension reviewed, stated, cleered and setled upon plain scripture-proof. Agreeable to the former and late constitutions of the Protestant Church of England and other reformed churches. Wherein (defending a private sheet occasionally written by the author upon this subject, against a publique pretended refutation of the same, by Mr W. in his book, entituled, Suspension discussed.) Many important points are handled; sundry whereof are shortly mentioned in the following page. Together with a discourse concering private baptisme, inserted in the epistle dedicatory. / By Samuel Langley, R.S. in the county palatine of Chester.

church_n exist_v wherein_o it_o shall_v be_v exercise_v and_o observe_v but_o where_o a_o church_n be_v constitute_v there_o this_o have_v no_o place_n 2._o in_o time_n of_o persecution_n when_o

church_n be_v at_o that_o time_n 3._o a_o like_a case_n hereunto_o be_v that_o in_o time_n of_o gross_a defection_n and_o idolatry_n in_o the_o church_n where_o this_o ordinance_n can_v be_v public_o administer_v without_o superstitious_a or_o heretical_a mixture_n as_o in_o popish_a country_n 4._o there_o may_v possible_o occur_v some_o instance_n wherein_o a_o eminent_a respect_n to_o god_n

to_o hanmers_n translation_n say_v he_o be_v the_o first_o of_o the_o gentile_n which_o obtain_v of_o philip_n the_o holy_a mystery_n by_o the_o inspiration_n of_o the_o heavenly_a word_n he_o be_v make_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o the_o faithful_a throughout_o the_o world_n and_o as_o it_o be_v report_v after_o his_o return_n unto_o his_o native_a soil_n he_o preach_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o universal_a god_n which_o give_v life_n unto_o man_n and_o the_o come_n of_o our_o saviour_n whereby_o the_o prophecy_n be_v fulfil_v which_o say_v aethiopia_n shall_v stretch_v her_o hand_n before_o unto_o god_n so_o he_o and_o so_o this_o instance_n fall_v also_o under_o the_o first_o case_n for_o private_a baptism_n that_o example_n of_o the_o jailor_n baptism_n and_o his_o household_n come_v under_o the_o first_o and_o second_o case_n that_o be_v a_o time_n of_o persecution_n and_o paul_n and_o silas_n then_o imprison_v and_o know_v not_o when_o they_o may_v hope_v to_o be_v release_v much_o less_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o opportunity_n of_o assemble_v the_o church_n in_o that_o neighbourhood_n and_o it_o be_v not_o altogether_o improbable_a that_o many_o other_o christian_a prisoner_n may_v be_v there_o and_o then_o there_o may_v be_v a_o solemn_a assembly_n agreeable_a to_o the_o allowance_n of_o those_o troublesome_a time_n what_o other_o case_n there_o may_v be_v of_o like_a exigence_n as_o to_o private_a baptism_n i_o refer_v to_o the_o disquisition_n of_o better_a judgement_n 12_o none_o of_o these_o singular_a case_n wherein_o baptism_n be_v

as_o to_o this_o matter_n it_o concern_v they_o who_o think_v so_o to_o name_v they_o and_o to_o prove_v the_o same_o the_o three_o fore_n pretend_v one_o i_o have_v already_o show_v not_o to_o be_v such_o and_o i_o know_v none_o else_o pretend_v except_o 1_o the_o gratify_a separatist_n some_o whereof_z will_v suffer_v their_o child_n to_o be_v baptize_v at_o home_n with_o a_o select_a company_n of_o their_o own_o only_a present_a but_z separate_z from_o our_o public_a assembly_n as_o no_o right_o constitute_v church_n 2_o and_o very_o rare_o perhaps_o one_o convince_v of_o the_o error_n of_o antipedobaptisme_n who_o have_v be_v taint_v therewith_o before_o seem_v inclinable_a to_o have_v his_o child_n baptize_v at_o home_n but_o be_v loath_a to_o honour_n god_n so_o far_o as_o public_o to_o appear_v in_o the_o devote_v his_o seed_n to_o god_n in_o this_o ordinance_n but_o if_o we_o comply_v with_o the_o former_a we_o wrong_v our_o church_n and_o seem_v to_o take_v upon_o ourselves_o the_o disparagement_n they_o lie_v upon_o we_o in_o their_o unwarrantable_a separation_n and_o the_o humour_v the_o latter_a seem_v to_o be_v a_o wrong_n to_o baptism_n itself_o the_o honour_n whereof_o have_v need_n to_o be_v careful_o preserve_v in_o these_o time_n and_o the_o question_n in_o this_o case_n seem_v to_o be_v whether_o the_o real_a honour_n of_o god_n holy_a ordinance_n or_o
